Abstract: Moteur-générateur à entrefer axial du type couplé à un arbre ayant un axe de rotation, qui comporte un rotor possédant un corps placé rotatif autour de l'arbre et doté d'une région externe. Le rotor comporte une pluralité d'ouvertures placées dans la région externe et espacées les unes des autres. Chacune des ouvertures comporte un bord externe. Ledit moteur-générateur comporte également une pluralité d'aimants dont le nombre est égal à celui des ouvertures. Chacun des aimants possède un bord externe correspondant au bord externe de l'ouverture correspondante. Le bord externe des aimants n'épouse généralement pas le bord externe des ouvertures et est légèrement plus petit que ce dernier. Chacun des aimants possède une forme adaptée pour que ledit aimant puisse être introduit dans l'ouverture correspondante. Le moteur-générateur comporte en outre un ensemble stator placé adjacent au rotor. L'ensemble stator possède des enroulements placés de manière à être adjacents aux aimants lorsque le rotor tourne. Le bord extérieur de chacun des aimants possède des dimensions telles qu'il épouse pratiquement le bord de l'ouverture correspondante lorsque le moteur-générateur à entrefer axial fonctionne à la vitesse opérationnelle, ce qui déforme le bord externe de l'ouverture correspondante. Ledit moteur-générateur comporte enfin un ensemble de fermeture du flux magnétique adapté pour épouser la forme du rotor lorsque ce dernier se trouve en état de fonctionnement opérationnel. Un isolateur de vibrations permet d'isoler l'arbre des vibrations du moteur-générateur. Des procédés associés sont également décrits.

Patent CA-2389652-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KRISHNAN LAKSHMI
IPC: A61P31/04
Filed: 2000-10-12
Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions useful for inducing major histocompatibility complex class-I (MHC-I)-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response in a mammalian host immunized with acellular (non-replicating) antigen. The methods comprise using a liposome, an archaeosome, comprising a polar lipid extract of an archaeobacterium as both immune modulator and carrier for the non-replicating antigen. In addition to a strong antigen-specific CTL response, the archaeosome adjuvant elicits CD4+ Th1, CD4+ Th2 (antibody), and memory responses to the acellular antigen in the vaccine composition. The invention provides methods for mounting a rapid, and a long lasting protective immunity in the vaccinated host against infections caused by intracellular pathogens, especially those that require the host to mount an antigen-specific CD8+ T cell immune response for the protection. The methods of the invention are also useful in, but not restricted to, vaccines for preventing or reducing growth of solid tumors.
